Utah's Right to Work Law has been in place since 1969 and currently makes it illegal for employers or unions to require workers to join a union, pay union dues, or refrain from union membership as a condition of getting or keeping a job; it also allows workers to sue for damages if these protections are violated. This bill would repeal that entire law, removing all of these protections and prohibitions from Utah statute. Most of the changes would take effect May 6, 2026, though the repeal of one specific section (dealing with the right to bargain collectively) would not take effect until November 28, 2026, to account for a related amendment passed in 2025.
